The Lower Eastside Girls Club benefits greatly from volunteers who share their experience and expertise from the many fields in which they work. The clubs daylong Girls Congress of the Lower East Side on April 8 celebrated female leadership, with workshops, performances, speakers and activism. All the women leading seminars were volunteers. Above, in the seminar Media Madness, Sheila Rothenberg, of the Institute for Labor and the Community Girls Project, showed an example of a magazine ad that she said objectifies and stereotypes women. The girls later made their own ad focusing on product content. Below, Terri Collins from Project Reach led a seminar called Discrimination and Diversity.
